A while back the cows were bashing the 360 for having all its games rely on the Unreal 3.0 engine and now they bash because a new engine is coming to the console.

System Wars logic FTL.

If it was on PS3, how would you feel? ME thinks your reaction would be different.

:lol: If you can read the site, you'll find out that the only thing the engine's been used so far for is PSP and Wii games, hardly a prime choice for 360. :lol:

After watching and reading a bit Id rather just use Torque Game engine, has basicly all the same stuff but more since there is a lot more support from the entire Indie world.

I am less than impressed. This engine has "second-rate" written all over it. Kind of like the White Engine, but without the fanboy hype attached to it.

Well from what I understand they have tweaked it so it can be used for Xbox 360, so the visuals and stuff wont be the same as you see in their examples since those are all last gen games.

Yeah I figures so, it seems to be an Indie game engine, not bad for a indie game engine actually.
